Chapter 518: Black Bug Scripture

“Good.” Monarch Cang Yong did not hesitate to agree. The majestic Bloodshed God Emperor would never lower his own status from greed over such things. Very quickly, the two parties took to negotiate and then naturally confirm the terms of this contract.
Of course, one of terms prevented Monarch Cang Yong from becoming enemies with Xue Ying. After all, if Monarch Cang Yong’s strength were to quickly increase and he would then use the Flowing Light Insect to come back and threaten him, Xue Ying would have no way to retaliate. Of course, Xue Ying had confidence that, by the time Monarch Cang Yong actually finished bringing the Flowing Light Insect to maturity, he would also have become powerful enough to face him.
“This brathas quite the luck. This should be the fifth “Insect Scripture”, if I’m not mistaken.” The Bloodshed God Emperor who was still sitting before the Cosmos Furnace sensed the oath being made and immediately understood what was going on. He couldn’t help but reveal a smile. “Although the cultivation of insects is just a side Dao, this fifth “Insect Scripture”contains truly profound knowledge on array diagrams, which can be used as reference.”
Monarch Cang Yong’s guess had been correct.
The Bloodshed God Emperor had no need to care for the insect scripture. With him being the strongest person in the entire Deity world, the sort of item he pursued far surpassed the imagination of someone like Cang Yong. They were on an entirely different level.
As soon as the oath was set down, neither party would dare break its terms.
The oaths were very powerful, and could not be disregarded even by someone who had the protection of the material world. As long as they remained in the material world, a stage three World Deity who did not make an oath would have no reason to fear even the Bloodshed God Emperor. However, if they did break an oath, the power of His Majesty’s attack would be bolstered by the oath, allowing it to pass into the material world and kill a stage three World Deity with ease.
Outside the material world, in the Deity world and Dark Abyss for instance, oaths would have an even stronger effect, and even stage four World Deities and powerful existences would have to be very cautious and serious about them, never daring to take them lightly. They would make sure to never violate an oath they had already made.
“Hahaha… Your Highness, you truly are ruthless.” Upon receiving the black sphere, Monarch Cang Yong’s mood instantly improved as he said with a smile, “The conditions you’ve set are truly giving me a heartache. I can barely take it.”
To this, Xue Ying replied, “Compared to your own behaviour, what I did was nothing big. In fact, obtaining this inheritance item won’t result in any huge increase of my strength. My only wish was to leave it for my children and descendants to study, giving my less talented acquaintances some way to protect themselves as well.
In truth, Xue Ying’s words were pure nonsense. He would never wish for his children to embark upon this kind of side Dao.
“Your Highness, you truly treat your children and descendants well.” Monarch Cang Yong smiled. Now that the transaction went through, he found that he did not regret his choice. He had been prepared to give up every last treasure he had, and even his empire, if it meant obtaining the black sphere.
All of those things were, after all, just external sources of power. Meanwhile, the Flowing Light Insect within the black sphere would let him match powerful existences!
“I’ve never even seen a Flowing Light Insect. At least let me have a look,” Xue Ying said.
“No problem.”
Monarch Cang Yong placed the sphere on the table and then lightly reached out to stroke its surface. Immediately, the uneven runes began to let out light. The rays it emitted hovered in mid-air to form a three-dimensional array diagram.
The incomparably profound array diagram began to slowly change and many different parts of the three-dimensional were transforming.
Hua.
The rays of light forming the array diagram finally withdrew, and the interior of the black sphere began to fluctuate. The uneven runes on the surface immediately began to split open, eventually breaking entirely to reveal the sparkling, translucent light egg inside it. Within this egg of light lay a peculiar shadow moving about incessantly, flowing like water. At times, it would even display a shape specific to an insect.
A single look in its direction was enough to send palpitations through Xue Ying’s heart. Watching the might with which the insect warped and weaved in every direction, he couldn’t help but say, “I have a feeling that, once this Flowing Light Insect is properly raised and it matures, it will probably go further than just being equal to powerful existences.”
“It won’t surpass powerful existences,” Monarch Cang Yong said. “Unless it undergoes another transformation, that is. But that would be too difficult to achieve. Your Highness, once you study this inheritance, you will understand what I mean.”
Xue Ying nodded.
“Then, unless there’s anything else you wish to discuss, I’ll be taking my leave. If there’s anything Your Highness wants me to do, you only need to notify me. I’ve already agreed to go all out to help you three times.” Monarch Cang Yong smiled.
“Alright.” Xue Ying also got up to send the man away. He was well aware that Monarch Cang Yong was antsy to go back to his base and begin cultivating the insect.

Jing Qiu had also begun entering closed-doors cultivation for long periods of time, primarily because she’d already become a stage four World Deity, which was not something she could wantonly show off to everyone! Whenever she went out to meet her son or daughter, it would be through as a body condensed using World Energy.
